James (foot) is questionable Tuesday against the Jazz, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

James recently missed a month due to his foot issue, but he's been back in action over the last four matchups. It wouldn't be surprising to see him suit up once again Tuesday as the Lakers battle for a postseason spot.

James (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

James was questionable for Sunday's matchup due to his foot injury, but he'll be able to appear in a fourth consecutive game following his month-long absence. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 20.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 31.0 minutes per game.

James (foot) is questionable for Sunday's action against the Rockets, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

James will presumably be on the injury report for the remainder of the regular season. Sunday would mark his fourth appearance since his return from a month-long absence, but if there's an opportunity to give him some rest, it might be either Sunday or Tuesday, given the soft matchups against Houston and Utah.

James finished Friday's 123-111 win over the Timberwolves with 18 points (7-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

James took a backseat to Anthony Davis (38 points, 17 rebounds) in a game with significant playoff implications, but the All-Star forward still made a big impact. James posted his first double-double since returning Sunday from a 13-game absence, and he also contributed six dimes, two blocks and a steal. James didn't shoot particularly well Friday, but he has five more games to shake any lingering rust as Los Angeles vies either for Play-In positioning or to claw up to the sixth seed and avoid the Play-In Tournament altogether.

Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said James (foot) will play Friday against the Timberwolves, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

James will suit up for a third straight game after missing extended time with the foot issue. Over his past two contests (both versus Chicago), James averaged 22.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.5 minutes, but the Lakers will need everything they can get out of the superstar forward in a critical Western Conference showdown Friday night.

James (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

James has suited up in the last two games after missing time with his foot injury, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him available again Friday since the Lakers are in a narrow race for a postseason spot. He returned to the starting lineup Wednesday against Chicago and tallied 25 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes.

James racked up 25 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

James came off the bench Sunday in his first game back from a multi-week absence due to a foot issue, but he was back with the starting unit three days later. The future Hall of Famer doesn't seem to be inhibited by the injured foot, as he shot well from the field and also pulled down seven boards -- three of which were of the offensive variety. The Lakers are 1.5 games out of the sixth spot and 1.5 games ahead of the 11th spot in the Western Conference, so James might not be able to take a day off over the team's final six regular-season games.

James is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Chicago, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James will replace Troy Brown in the starting five Wednesday after coming off the bench in his previous outing. James played 30 minutes Sunday, so there is no indication that he will be on a minutes restriction.

James (foot) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

James will make his second straight appearance Wednesday after being upgraded from questionable to available with a foot injury. The superstar forward came off the bench in his last outing, so it remains to be seen if he will rejoin the starting unit against the Bulls.

James (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a 13-game absence, James returned to action Sunday and tallied 19 points (6-11 FG), eight rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes off the bench. With the Lakers fighting for a playoff spot, it would be surprising to see James take a seat unless his foot injury took a turn for the worse, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision.
